--- Quote from: maginnovision on July 24, 2020, 03:59:50 am ---Seems profile -> modify profile -> look and layout -> show quick moderation needs to be selected? At least that made it show up for me. --- End quote --- Seemed to do the trick. I managed to nuke from my feed a couple of threads that are like a villain in a bad horror movie that just won't die. |

It's a feature that I've used often. Unfortunately I think there's a limit of something like 100 threads you can ignore, so at some point you hit the limit and zombie threads you ignored months ago start coming back up in the list. |

(Attachment Link) --- End quote --- Had a quick look, though not extensive, I think that option might not be available to us mere mortals. --- End quote --- You have to go into the New Replies or Unread Topics list to see it. https://www.eevblog.com/forum/unread/ or https://www.eevblog.com/forum/unreadreplies/ I don't see it either on the top of this thread for example, I don't know why, it should be availabel on every thread so you can just nuke it. |

--- Quote from: Zero999 on July 22, 2020, 10:21:13 am ---I'd love to start some sort of anti-woke/PC/censorship campaign, but my greatest fear would be it being hihacked by the far-right groups such as the English Defence League and KKK. There needs to be a strong, sensible, centrist group to deal with this idiots. --- End quote --- Nobody needs your help. Do you remember that rational, EU-sceptical movement which was hijacked by the brexiters and got out of hand? The moderate anti-globalists infiltrated by Russian spies promoting Donald Hitler? Me neither. "Centrism" is an ideology of people who have it "good enough" and just want to be left alone and follow the path of least resistance. Strict avoidance of confrontation and "waiting it out". It's a very appealing ideology when you have it good enough and expect to have it good enough for any foreseeable future, even more so if you don't know or care about that many people who don't have it good enough. That's the reason it used to be highly popular in the post-war 20th century (the West really had it good enough) and also the reason why it's quickly losing popularity today (you screwed yourselves up). It permits "moderate radicals" to gain a lot of ground completely unopposed ("oh come on, there is no way anything bad will come out of that if only they will stop at that, just let them have it, live and let live") while completely failing to promise anything by themselves besides "just don't do anything, things will work out, trust the plan", so it's kinda self-defeating in the long run. It's the politics of no politics, which in practice reduces to outsourcing politics to others whom you don't even know and then being surprised by the outcome. "OMG, TV told me we are all one human race, how come somebody has a different opinion than mine???". --- Quote from: Ed.Kloonk on July 23, 2020, 08:49:45 am ---Can I suggest that we all agree that it's the seemingly invisible, insidious movement that instigated the M/S discussion in the first place is the thing that should receive all our collective venom? --- End quote --- Of course it's the white people who just refuse to stop insulting people of color. You see, the funniest thing about America is that they all believe exactly this. The only disagreement is on who exactly is the bad guys. That's why they are having riots and terrorism basically on a monthly schedule for the last few years. :popcorn: |
